We’re going for the ‘price everyone out who’s likely to sing’ approach.What about someones wife? Daughter? Not as low?
They could stamp it out, make everyone in the crowd only sing nice songs I suppose.
We are heading for a very stale atmosphere at PL football.
It's part of their DNA.an over 15 year old article? Relevance?
Your team smells will be the only thing left to sing. And even that could be argued to be offensive.

Take it you have never been in a City end for a match thenIt's part of their DNA.
The chant has more in common with 'your wife is a grass' and I hope the reaction to it doesn't make it a reocurring thing.
Just been talking about this, mates daughter & 12 year old grandson walking out with his Foden shirt on after the game, were subject to a barrage of abuse from the knuckle draggers, “is your mum a slag too” etc. and it wasn’t just one or two of the fuckwits either.Does the chant bother me? Not really
But it is the behaviour of utter pondlife and i wouldnt have stood there joining in because im not a ****.
All these terry ten mens saying it was worse in the 80s. Maybe. But the behaviour of fans, parents and coaches way down to grass roots is getting worse and it makes me cringe.
I coach a lowe level u10s team. I had to have a word with an opposition coach a few weeks ago about him berating the 15 year old ref.
On saturday i watched my local cheshire league team. Coach was sent off for calling the ref a “fucking spastic”.
Honestly, if you would stand there and sing “your mum is a slag” then its says more about you than me
How about "we don't particularly like you"? Still not very complimentary though is it?Your team smells will be the only thing left to sing. And even that could be argued to be offensive.

If you let a 12 year old walk around outside old trafford with a city shirt on show you're asking for trouble. Same as always at away grounds, show some common sense, cover up if you don't want trouble.Just been talking about this, mates daughter & 12 year old grandson walking out with his Foden shirt on after the game, were subject to a barrage of abuse from the knuckle draggers, “is your mum a slag too” etc. and it wasn’t just one or two of the fuckwits either
Would it not be Swales then, the late 60’s?I remember the editor of City Til I Cry calling out the morons who sang that, he asked how our Jewish chairman must have felt as he sat in the Maine Stand.
Not one of our finest hours.
Indeed.Take it you have never been in a City end for a match then
Not having a dig blue.
For my two peneth your mum is your mum and comes before all other women for me calling someone's mum a slag is about as low as it gets
Remember being there for Shreks overhead shin that won the game. All match we’d been singing you’re just a fat granny shagger. That’s how you silence chants. Sadly Phil wasn’t able to find that last weekHave teams sang it all season and why he has been shite? No, it is a derby, nasty things get sung. We sing about Gary and Phil shagging their mum. A few derbies ago Bobby Charlton touches kids got sang. Lets take no moral high ground, it isn't nice but when did everyone become a wet wipe
These players might be making big money
But still I think any chant related to death or family is just too far
The united fans quality definitely getting worse
Jealousy
